When you fomat a computer, do you need to backup your drivers?


I have an IBM Thinkpad t41. It has grown very slowly during the past 5 years, and I decided to be formatted. I do not want to use the formatting through the windows cd's. IBM has its own formatting software which can be accessed at boot '. He says: "Restore Defaults", it means that everything will be spent, and the computer will be cool because it came from the factory.
I started to save my docs important, music, photos and software. Can we have to safeguard the drivers for my keyboard, printer or any other device. Or will recognize the computer when I reinstall the CD supplied with components.
Thanks a lot. If

restoration is with the utility of the manufacturer, you do not need to reinstall the drivers. They are already in the restoration of files.
Simply back up your important files.

Absolutely.
Now, if you use the recovery offers a great option open format and restoration.
The option to restore your files kept in place and reload windows.
Anyway, it is always good to make a backup of your files.

You can not really back-up drivers. They are always changing its best to find the latest drivers and put them on a CD. When you reformat, you can install all the drivers from the disk once you have completed the installation of windows. Otherwise, just make sure you have a driver for your network, so you can download them after reformatting.

if you use XP, then you do not need to back up your drivers

yeah .. Your PC will restore to its original configurations. This means that if and still have the same equipment as before everything will work well. U is, however, decided to install new hardware such as printers, cdburners, instructor, and so on. Dont you will need to find their facilities disks that have their drivers, and can find some software on the Internet that allow backup and to all your readers, the program automatically Finds all drivers and store them in a folder and who can then burn. And after restoring your PC and then install the program agin, and the program has a feature that allows you to restore and your drivers ...
